PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION
SHOWS DEMOCRACT UNITED
Raleigh Meeting is 0ns of Councilors
Not Reformers, Says Editor Harris.
Editor Wade H. Harris, who at
tended the Democratic meeting in Ral
eigh yesterday, says of it in a special
to the Observer:
The natural deduction from .the
meeting at Raleigh today is that the
Democrats of the State are for the
present in a mood to let well enough
alone, content to have party affairs
rack along for such adjustment as the
party may see proper to frame up in
regular order through the State con
vention in June. The gathering was
not noticeable for cither its sise or
enthusiasm. '" " '
The trend, as best the Observer
could gather it, was an earnest desire
to consult and .deliberate toward the
good of the party as a whole, and to
the inspiration of a more progressive
spirit of legislation on party measures
ot known approval. There was" no
(spirit .of revolt, no talk of new org
anization, and any thought of goin'i
outside the regular party organization
to secure an end of any kind, met
with no sort of countenance. The Ob
server knows of no other way in which
lo size np today meeting in Rnleigh,
and we believe that what has been
said about covers the bill. It is cer
tain that the meeting had one result
it showed the Democratic party in the
State is solidly united and is deter
mined to hold together.
. . Maine Ch 0. P. Convention.
Augusta, Me., '"April. 9. The" Re
publican' State Convention of Maine
assembled today and was called to
order by Congressman John A. Pet
ers. The convention will confine all
its work to the formulation of the
State platform. The nominations for
governor and other State oftlcers will
be made at the primaries in June.
The early hope entertained by sonic
of the Republican leaders that an al
liance might be effected with the Pro
gressives -has been abandoned, "since
the Progressive party .has alread.v
nominated a' State ticket of its own.

Farmers and Unions May Join.
Chieago, 111., April 9. Possible ef
fects of the proposed interpret ali ir
of the Sherman anti-trust law in re
gard to farmers' organizations will hi
discussed at the second annual confer
ence on marketing and farm credits,
which is to be held in this 'city next
week. A defensive alliance between
union labor and the farmers may be
an outgrowth of the conference, as a
result of the admission of represen
tatives of organized labor to the ses
sions. According to the proposed
new interpretation of the Sherman
law, the law may be appiled to labor
unions and farmers' organizations.
Turned in Alarm; No Fire.
Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 a
small boy saw smoke boiling out of a
chimney on Gold street at a rapid
rate, lie imediately turned in the
fire alarm and the firemen respond
ed. : By the time the firemen arrived
the smoke had abated somewhat and
there was no reason for the appear

exercised a little. care he could have
saved the firemen a long run in the

Season Opens in Texas League.
Houston, Tex., April 9 The Tex-
ss baseball league opened its twelfth
season today, with Beaumont playing
at Galveston, Fort Worth at Austin,
Dallas, at Waco, San Antonio lining
up against last year'ss champions
in this city. The league has under
gone a thorough renovation since t ho
close of the past season and never
before has it begun a pennant race,
under conditions that rendered the
outcome so uncertain. The circuit is
the same as last year, but every team
is in charge of a new manager and
has an unusually uumber of new me:i
in the line-up. Dallas, Fort Worth,
San Antonio and Beaumont appear,
on paper, to have the strongest . ag
gregations! but it would cause , no
surprise if all the present calculations
and prediction of the critics would be
upset before the season in a month
old. :

THE PROPOSED TREATY MAY
NEVER BE RATIFIED.

ed Strongly. It is Said Also That
Administration May Have Trouble
Carrying Out Plan of Settlement of
Trouble Wtih Sister Nations Part
of This is Due to Bitter reeling
Caused by the Canal Tolls Contro
versy. Washington, April !. That the
proposed new Colombia treaty under
the terms which, this goernment will
practically assume the responsibility
for the Panama revolution will never
he ratified, was the opinion ol lead
ing Senators today. It is also the
general belief that the administration
will have trouble in carrying out any
provisions of the Wilson-Bryau
elaborate plan for a general settle
ment of all trouble with sister na
tions. Part of this is due to the bit
ter feeling caused by the Panama
Canal tolls controversy, lint in addi
tion there is a strong feeling among
certain Senators that the so-called
Bryan peace treaties will lie no real
ninetit to the people ol tins country.
Representative Barnhardt, author
of the Newspaper Publicity Laws, said
the post office department is consid
ering possiblu court proceedings
against certain newspapers who are
alleged to be against tolls repeal on
the ground that they are printing the
ship trust lobby's stuff without la
beling their advertisments as requir
ed by the publicity law.
The repeal of the clause excluding
railroad owned ships from the Pan
